2015-11-17; vol. 80 # 221 - Tuesday, November 17, 2015 80 FR 71702 - Promoting Spectrum Access for Wireless Microphone Operations
GPO FDSys: XML | Text Additional Documents FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Final rule. Effective December 17, 2015, except for the amendments to §§ 15.37(k) and 74.851(l), which contain new or modified information collection requirements that require approval by the OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective date of the amendments when OMB approves. The incorporation by reference listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of December 17, 2015. 47 CFR Parts 2, 15, 74, 87, and 90 Summary In this document, the Commission takes several steps to accommodate the long-term needs of wireless microphone users. Wireless microphones play an important role in enabling broadcasters and other video programming networks to serve consumers, including as they cover breaking news and live sports events. They enhance event productions in a variety of settings—including theaters and music venues, film studios, conventions, corporate events, houses of worship, and internet webcasts. They also help create high quality content that consumers demand and value. In particular, the Commission provides additional opportunities for wireless microphone operations in the TV bands following the upcoming incentive auction, and provides new opportunities for wireless microphone operations to access spectrum in other frequency bands where they can share use of the bands without harming existing users.
2015-11-05; vol. 80 # 214 - Thursday, November 5, 2015 80 FR 68471 - Radio Frequency Devices, FCC Form 740 Temporary Suspension
GPO FDSys: XML | Text Additional Documents FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Final rule; temporary suspension. Effective December 7, 2015. 47 CFR Part 2 Summary This document temporarily waives the requirements of the Commission's rules that govern the submission of information associated with FCC Form 740 concerning imported Radio Frequency (RF) devices. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is implementing a new electronic filing system which is scheduled to become fully operational by December 2016. In light of steps taken related to the transition to the new CBP system, parties importing RF devices will lose the ability to electronically file the required FCC information. The Commission does not believe that it would serve the public interest to establish an alternative means for importers to submit this information with us during the pendency of the rulemaking.
